Simon Jordan has questioned whether teams should break the British transfer record to sign Alexander Isak.talkSPORT understands the Newcastle striker has informed the club that he is willing to explore a move away this summer.Alexander Isak has scored the third-most Premier League goals since the start of the 2022/23 seasonGettyIsak has told the Magpies that he wants to consider his options, but has stopped short of an official transfer request, as of yet.He also hasn’t travelled to Singapore with the rest of the squad for pre-season.With the Swede’s current contract at St James’ Park running until 2028, the Geordies would want £150million for their star man.This would represent a new British record transfer fee, after Liverpool previously broke new ground with the £116m arrival of Florian Wirtz earlier this summer.But the Reds could now end up potentially smashing it again with Isak, who are willing to meet Newcastle‘s steep valuation.Al Hilal are also keen on the Sweden international, with the Saudi side currently preparing a bid understood to be over £130m.While Newcastle are desperate to keep hold of their talisman, talkSPORT understands they would rather see Isak head to Saudi Arabia than join a Premier League rival if their hand was forced.What has been the reaction to the Isak news?With Isak among the top-flight’s most prolific goalscorers over the last few years, it isn’t hard to see why his current employers have slapped a huge price tag on him.Despite this however, talkSPORT’s Simon Jordan has questioned whether the marksman’s shortage of silverware makes him worthy of a record fee, having only lifted this year’s EFL Cup with the Geordies.Reacting to the Isak news, he said: “Ultimately you think those sort of things should be reserved for players that have actually won things, significant things. GettyIsak helped Newcastle to a first major trophy in 56 years with EFL Cup glory in March[/caption]Florian Wirtz is the most expensive player in British football history, as of this summerGetty“But he’s playing in a landscape where Jack Grealish was at Aston Villa, he went for £100m [to join Man City, a then British record transfer].”“This is a very rare breed. This is a superstar centre forward, and they’re rare as hen’s teeth, aren’t they?”Jordan then claimed any potential suitors for Isak would have to show real nerve if they are to meet Newcastle’s record demands.He added: “Then we’ll see how big people’s balls are, and their checkbooks are. Write a check out and it all has to clear.”Since joining Newcastle from Real Socieded in 2022, Isak has netted an 62 goals in 109 games overall.Last season, the 25-year-old enjoyed his best goalscoring return, registering 23 goals in 34 league fixtures.Simon Jordan questioned the British record transfer fee Newcastle are demanding for IsakHis impressive goal haul helped the Magpies finish fifth and secure a Champions League berth for the 2025/26 campaign.And with Isak establishing himself as a fan favourite on Tyneside, Jordan admitted a potential exit would be a bitter blow to the Toon Army, but it didn’t come as a huge shock to him.He said of the news: “Disappointing for Newcastle fans if it has legs, of course. “I’m not surprised. I said it about two or three months ago when everyone was talking about the undoubted love that Isak will have for the club, not leaving.”“I said: ‘Wait and see if a legacy club comes in, and see what they’re prepared to do and how this will turn the mind of a player, irrespective of how committed he seems right now’. “So I’m not surprised. It’s a difficult one.”Only Mohamed Salah scored more league goals than Isak in the 2024/25 Premier League seasonGettyJordan then insisted that any deal for Isak would have to be agreed on Newcastle’s terms.He continued: “If it’s true, the club have got to find a resolution to it, because you can’t have a player that you can make stay.” “But the only thing I would say is if he’s going to go, it has to be on Newcastle’s terms, as best as it can be.“And someone’s got to pay the ransom that Newcastle rightly are entitled to because they’re the ones that found him, they’re the ones that put him in and they’re the ones that gave us the vision.”Visit talkSPORT BET for all the latest summer transfer betting odds18+ gambleaware.org
